After the Bridgewater goal, the Marlins pulled netminder Lindsay Baker and opted to use a kicking back for the remainder of the game as Sam Jackson moved back between the pipes.

Bridgewater added the final goal of the game on an Allison Kirk tally. Junior Taylor Prillaman punched a shot on frame but it caromed off of the post. Kirk picked up the rebound and scored to hand Bridgewater a 3-0 victory.
